Loving Charleston

[fightingquaker13]

I just got into town today and I am loving it! I got a room at the Harbour View hotel on the water over looking the harbour (not from my room because I didn't want to spend the extra $50, but the roof top deck is free! I had two of the best meals  I've ever had. Pan fried chicken livers with country ham and madiera sauce at Magnolia's for lunch ($10) and one dozen local oysters for $7 with a home brewed brown ale for $2.50 at Pearlz as a snack. I love this town. Great people, great food and a lot of Civil War history. I would highly reccomend it based on my 8 hours in town.
FQ13 who is going to Rue De Jean (a French Bistro that remembers that Bistro means cheap home style cooking) for bunny with mustard sauce for $15 tonight, and hopes to see the CSA Hunnley tommorow.

I watched the Hunnely recovery video on local tv the other day.  And they talked about it in my kids school (she came home and told me all about what they learned).  I thought they said their only displaying a replica, as the original is to deteriorated for public display?

Either way it should be a cool experience. 

If you pay an extra $100 bucks you can have a picture of it on you SC license plate (LITTLE much!).  I got sea turtles...  They were cheap.

But aren't you now thinking that maybe you should have gone to Savannah instead, with it's Ft. Pulaski which gives you both the Revolutionary and Civil War fix? And besides, they have great oaks with hanging Spanish Moss in the many many city square?

Or maybe - if you win the scratch off lottery you can do both? ? ? ? ?

 Pathfinder, The Revolutionary war centered on 2 cities, New York, (gateway to the North ) and Charleston.
Savannah was rather a backwater that the rebels fled to when their incompetence and feuding got them driven out of civilization.

I'm from North Charleston. Try the Hominy Grill while your downtown for goods eats too. Highly recommended.
If you're strolling around the Market area with all the bars and restaurants at night don't let the tourism board fool ya, you DO need to watch yourself down there, especially all those dark little spaces and cut thrus.

Which raises the question, Are you carrying ? I checked and according to the NRA website (another resource TAB deprives himself of    ) Your Fl permit is good there and in Ga.

One of my ancestors served under Lincoln and was imprisoned on a prison barge in Charleston Harbor for 18 months after Lincoln surrendered. Yeah, Tom, I would have figured you would guess that I know my history here.

Ft. Pulaski was started during the Revolutionary War but not actually finished until the early 19th Century. And it didn't play that big a role in the Civil War.

The original post, for any who might have missed it, was a sarcastic replay of FQ's really annoying and just incredibly public angst (foreign word for "whining") over his AR "Sporter" and his newfound lust for an unaffordable AK.
